Skin picking disorder includes behaviors such as picking, scratching, and squeezing of the normal skin in an impulsive, repetitive manner despite the fact that no dermatological condition is detected. Skin picking disorder may also be comorbid in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and vice versa. There is a great deal of data regarding the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate (MPH) treatment of ADHD. In this article, we report the cessation of skin picking behaviors in a 10-year-old girl diagnosed as having skin picking disorder and ADHD after modified-release MPH treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first case report that shows the cessation of skin picking behavior after MPH treatment in a child with ADHD.
皮肤搔抓障碍包括以冲动、重复的方式搔抓、刮擦和挤压正常皮肤的行为,尽管未检测到皮肤病学状况。皮肤搔抓障碍在患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童中也可能合并存在,反之亦然。有大量关于哌甲酯(MPH)治疗ADHD的疗效和安全性的数据。在本文中,我们报告了一名10岁被诊断患有皮肤搔抓障碍和ADHD的女孩在接受缓释MPH治疗后皮肤搔抓行为停止的情况。据我们所知,这是首例显示MPH治疗后患有ADHD的儿童皮肤搔抓行为停止的病例报告。
